@owls honestly any "this fundamental thing about php that has been true since it was called personal home page" statement is always gonna be a great nerdsnipe.

my old parlour trick used to be

function __clone() {

    clone($this);

}

}

$foo = new Foo;

clone($foo);

which would always Segmentation fault. The punchline? The massive thread on bugs.php.net where the developers insisted this was expected behaviour ("infinite recursion segfaults!").

This was only semi-recently fixed.

Man I feel old.
